how have we not had a proper meeting since OCTOBER

Who: Everyone
When: January 10th, after 6PM
What: it's finally time for another FAMILY MEETING aka info sharing and yelling at eachother session, come and discuss recent discoveries & upcoming plots
Warnings: if there isn't at least ONE attempted murder, is it really a fam meet?

[It's the first day of the last semester, and sometime around lunch a note is slipped into everyone's lockers, as well as posted up in various common areas of the dormitories. In neat, printer-perfect text:]

Transfer Student Meeting
Dormitory Common Room @ 6:15 PM
Don't be late.

[... and that's all anyone gets until the agreed upon time, unless anyone wants to show up early and help Add set up.

Add himself is looking tall & fragment-y today, and by 6:15 PM exactly the whiteboard (that we stole and I assume never gave back because fuck the rules) is at the front of the room with a list of topics to cover. There's extra space left at the bottom for more to be added. His two dynamos are hovering at around shoulder-level by the main entrance, offering a friendly beep! to everyone who enters while they take attendance.

There is also the science room's Add's anatomical model standing next to the whiteboard. It's just standing there and looking creepy... it's fine, don't worry about it.

Once everyone arrives, Add goes over the rules—which are pretty simple, because Add doesn't give a shit.]


Let's try to keep this concise and tolerable. Stay on topic, and speak up if you have something useful to contribute. Take your fights outside if you want to kill someone. Failure to abide by these terms will result in removal from the room.

Like it or not... information is key to surviving this place, so working together as a group is the optimal strategy. Some of you will be "graduating" soon, and we still barely know what that entails. I'm not interested in letting this school dictate my future and neither should any of you, and I don't care if you want to find your own method of escape, but pooling our information will prevent wasted time and effort on dead-ends. If you don't agree with that, you can leave and figure it out by yourself.

We've made it this far, starting from practically nothing. Life or death, return or reincarnation... none of that matters because nothing is an impossibility. What matters is that we leave on our terms. Don't settle for less because you think it's too difficult. We will find a way out of this school.




((~FAMILY MEETING OOC RULES~
- this is a mingle!! feel free to start your own toplevels and threadjack into any ongoing discussions.
- off topic threads (like characters just chatting or bringing snacks or whatever) is allowed, but try to keep it contained. this is for sharing info both IC and OOC, so try to think of future-us sometimes and don't leave 38473645 unnecessary shitpost toplevels people will have to scroll past to find the one bit of plot info they needed or w/e
- if you're starting a new discussion topic, please put something in the subject line to make it easier to find! you can also ping/PM me to have it added/linked in the Official™ topic list below.
- if a new discussion topic comes up in the middle of an existing discussion, please consider giving it a fresh toplevel so it's easier to find!
- IC chaos/disruptions are allowed, but expect appropriate IC consequences. Add is a shitty meeting host and has not banned hangman or murders but like, he can manipulate gravity to throw someone out a window, this is exactly what will happen if anyone starts to annoy him.
- priority to sharing plot info should go to whoever discovered it, so please be considerate of others and ask before sharing something another character has been investigating!))

...

( going to look at every picture ASIDE from his supposed boyfriend because he doesn't have a boyfriend. )

The piano bench...? It's a shame the one here has already been tampered with, it would have been interesting to gain a few more relics from the past.

( he'll flip through them, stopping a few times. )

What did you think of them?

( the pictures. )

please don't be weird at the meeting.........

[hope rokkun disappears again smh

just tampered with... kaede has a brief look of relief on her face at that, but it shifts to thoughtful as she considers the question.]


They seem like they made wonderful memories while they were here, as if this was your everyday school. Or, at least, they wanted to keep those happy memories alive more than any hardships they had. They were things that the people who put took them never wanted to forget.

[just like the paper said.]

I'm not a photographer, so I wouldn't be able to tell if they were fake or anything like that... But I think they're important for us to look at, too. To acknowledged that they existed, and that there were things that made it worth being here.

Hm... if you're curious about the authenticity, will you accept my help?

( shut up, he was waiting by the wisteria.

talking about him, komaeda will point at the blurry photo, almost like he's not surprised whatsoever. it is odd to see him smiling so happy, and he can only think back to when rokkun said he was angry with this place; was angry with being here.

though, it's not just about him, but... )


I'll need just the one photo, but... memories of the past captured in photographs, it is nice to have for reference.

[personal profile] heroicpolonaise 2022-01-11 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
[well

komaeda hasn't given her a reason not to trust him.]


I don't mind. Even though Yashiro-san might feel a little protective over the album, we shouldn't hesitate to give others what we have if it means we're a little closer to the truth -- just don't lose it, since it's someone's precious memory.

[even if they've forgotten, even if they're not here any longer. kaede thinks it might be important to remember them anyway, so she'll carefully take the photo out for komaeda to accept.]

I'll bring it back to you, Akamatsu-san, the person in this photo is a friend of mine.

( he'll take the photo, looking at it properly, squinting to make sure it's who he thinks it is. he'll looking towards nene though, hm... protective. )

...I can introduce you to him in exchange, he... ( wants to meet my friends... ) wants to meet more people, and an Ultimate like yourself would be able to charm him easily.

[personal profile] heroicpolonaise 2022-01-11 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
Long lived, huh...

[or a repeat... or something... but nevertheless--]

Well, I don't know about charming... but I'm definitely interested in meeting him. You've got yourself a deal, Komaeda-kun.

...It's probably his grandpa, or something. They look the same!

( he jokes, but that could be easy enough to handwave so she won't think of him as different, he already hates to be spoken about. )

Hm...

( holds out hand like he wants to handshake... ) A promise.

[personal profile] heroicpolonaise 2022-01-11 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
[GRANDPA................... (x) doubt but okay, she won't judge repeats. there's bound to be people who just don't learn, or who don't want to learn. (like her).

she'll take komaeda's hand since it's offered though. handshake...?]

( he doesn't shake because he's still having difficulties with point a to point c, he forgets point b.

he lets her hand go after touching. )


I wonder if there's anything hidden on the pictures that we could find, through blacklight or any other means...

( the information that could be hidden that way could be interesting as he starts to sit through the photos again, trying to put pictures against pictures to see if there's anything reoccurring.

he pauses, looking at the note at the end. )


"I don't want to forget," ...I see.

( he leans away, lips pursing into a straight line as his arms cross. )

[. okay]

It could just be your normal wish, since if you make happy memories you'd never want to forget them, but...

[what furade said sticks to her, were they afraid?]

Maybe they knew they'd forget, and that's why they left so much.

[if it is a case of reincarnation and the like, then. that makes sense. remember us, let us remember.]

[personal profile] commences 2022-01-11 06:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Yep, they have always forgotten.

( there's a smile on his face as he says so, confirming kaede's suspicions. )

I wonder who it was that has forgotten...

( he won't explain much, but it's the fact that who here would have such a dated photograph book? )

If they didn't want to forget, they would have kept this on them no matter what... I wonder what separated them, or if they're just no longer here... but it must mean you can't take items wherever they went.

... In other words, maybe they graduated.

[whatever happens beyond that... maybe they couldn't take it with them. kaede touches the photo album gently, wondering if they, the students here now, should do the same. where would they even get the camera?]

I kind of wish we could do the same thing. It's pretty nice looking through all of these, even if I can't say I know everyone that's in them.
